Olympic Village recreation

Daniel Oberkofler, left, and Brian Lebler, members of the Austrian ice hockey team, play video games inside the Olympic Village recreation hall. "I had a chance to tour Olympic Village today; home to the athletes for the Games and off-limits to the media except for a few hours this afternoon. The cluster of hotels and recreation facilities is conveniently located right next to Olympic Park and faces the Black Sea (mountain athletes have their own accommodations closer to their venues). We got to wander through a few of the buildings but Russian volunteers turned us away at several doors, the message about an open tour apparently not having been received."
